People with suspected eating disorders who are referred to an eating disorder service start assessment and treatment within 4 weeks for children and young people or a locally agreed timeframe for adults.

People with eating disorders who are moving between services have their risks assessed.

Eating Disorders Association (N.I.) welcomes this publication and the recognition it gives to the importance of early intervention, timely access to care and indeed integrated care. We call for all those with influence to ensure that these standards and indeed previous evidence based findings are put into practice immediately, so as to allow all those that are affected by an eating disorder to receive the care and support that they need and deserve.
